UK Detroit-style Pizza: Cheesy Beans on Toast
Detroit-style pizza (DSP) has been on the scene since its inception back in the 1940s with its distinctive shape, thick, fluffy base and crispy, golden cheese “frico” crust (for more about this style and other pan pizzas, read more here).
While UK-based Gill Meller (@gill.meller) didn’t grow up eating Detroit-style pizza at home, he’s no stranger to deep-dish pizza.
So when asked to create a distinctly UK version of a Detroit-style pizza, Gill leaned into the nostalgia and comfort of the decidedly British meal: beans on toast.
Warm, hearty and beloved by countless Brits, Gill goes the extra mile here with some flavour flourishes.
As a cheeky visual and nod to the original pizza’s Motor City roots, Gill arranges his beans in racing stripe patterns over the top of the dough (as opposed to tomato sauce).

Gill Meller’s Spicy Potato Wedges with Firecracker Mayo
One of the most popular and satisfying comfort foods (besides pizza!) just might be the humble yet oh-so-versatile potato.
Though wonderful on a chilly night by the fire, these potatoes are worth cooking any time of year and can be enjoyed morning, noon, or night.
As for dipping sauce – because who wants a dry wedge?
While these wedges can certainly stand on their own, they’re also excellent as a fiery side dish.
